allowing admins to sort by what folder permissions a user has so we can mirror those for another user
allowing admins to sort by what folder permissions a user has so we can mirror those for another user. Right now, I can't sort by permissions under a user. I have to manually scroll down the whole folder structure and then have another window open with the user that needs the same permissions to the same folders, and add them manually. Why can't we sort by folder owner, or permission?

Ability to manage suppression lists
Administrator not able monitor and allow to release own User from Suppression List is a big not good (Cause we won’t know if anyone being accidentally suppress. Till next time User alert and we check to email Spam, check external Mail Security than last check to BOX). When User being capture and put under Suppression List can the system send Administrator notification message and preview and/or release; instead log case check to BOX Support??!
204 votesWe are excited to introduce Suppression List Management for Administrator, a solution designed to streamline the process of handling suppression lists with ease.
Previously, customers had to reach out to Product Support to solve the problem with Notification delivery. With this new feature, Box Administrators can remove Users from the Suppression List without the need to contact the Box Support team. This feature will be available in the Admin Console under the Notification tab.

Provide read-only scope for user information
I'd like to provide our central identity management team a way to tell whether or not a given Box user has a > 0 byte usage before they delete the user's account (for example, as someone leaves our organization). I'd like to give them read-only API access to https://api.box.com/2.0/users, without giving them any additional access. Support tells me that this isn't currently possible. It'd be nice if it was--this could be useful for a number of other uses, too, such as reporting.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! Providing a read-only scope for Users via API is not currently on the roadmap, but we’ll update this request if that changes.

Make it more clear to a user when they invite a company domain that does not have a Box account
Customers have mirrored their email groups (example would be a company-all-hands@company.com email list) to Box Groups. Their users typically type in the email address itself in order to attempt to collab the group onto content, but since the email address is not associated with a user, and we can't tie an email address to a Box Group, it sends a pending invite to that email address to create an account (which won't get created and doesn't work).
The request: I suspect linking an email address to a Box Group is a non-starter from a product standpoint. Because of…

Allow Administrators to View User Account Password
Allow Administrators to View User Account Password. I have a user at my company who does not wish to reset their password, and we are unable to view what the current password is set to. This appears to be a common issue that could have a simple solution.

File Request User Configuration - error messaging
When configuring File Request for "enable for select users", users remain in the list even if they have been deleted from Box. If you try to add a new user to the list, you will receive an error message. The reason for the error is because a deleted user is still in the list, however the error is a standard message and does not explicitly say this. So customers do not know why they are getting an error. There should be clearer messaging in the error so customers know what they need to do.

Salesforce integration to support Salesforce platform user licenses
The Box for Salesforce integration installation guide and FAQ state that the integration only works if Salesforce users have a full "Salesforce" user license. This is a deal breaker for many organizations that have Salesforce users with the more affordable Salesforce "Platform" user license.
Since the integration supports custom Salesforce objects, I don't see why the full Salesforce licenses would be required for each user. I would understand if the integration user (Box service account) needs a full Salesforce license, but individual users should be able to use this integration with a Salesforce platform license. Platform…

Tables - Ability to Copy a Row and Paste into a Table in A Different Box Note
Requesting ability to copy a Box Note row and paste into another Box Note table (preserving formatting and links). Currently, you can paste into a new table this way, not an existing table in our testing.
Rationale: Ease of use, consistent ability to cut and paste

Add the feature for documents to upload as a new version when they are dragged directly over an existing document in box!!!!
To avoid having to save new version of documents, you should allow users to drag documents (from an email for example) onto another document in box. This would then prompt you to, "upload new version" or "upload separate document". This would save users the pain of having to download new versions to their computers before selecting the "upload new version" feature.

Easily replicate folder structure for projects
We would like the ability to better manage templates of existing content so that he can very easily replicate a folder structure within Box for ongoing projects.

Add additional user reporting without "Export User" report
There is currently no way to report on Users besides the export user option which exports the entire list of users in the enterprise along with a lot of useful details.
It would be very useful if admins could generate reports with the options in the sort by on the webapp. While we can use the sort by on the web, exporting the users provides more details on one screen admins can review that the webapp does not provide unless you drill into each user.
For example, ability to export users (along with current details…

Relay workflow to get deleted or transfer to Box admin when the user is deleted
When the Box admin is in process of deleting a user with a Relay workflow and closes the browser by accident, the workflow ends up with no owner.
I would like that workflow to either get deleted or transfer the ownership to the Box admin4 votes -
External User Box Access Workflow
We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"
Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.
There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.

Customize Collaborator Permission Levels
Any chance that we can have some flexibility in the "Collaborator Permission Levels." Can we develop a tool to edit these levels, like check which function the user can have. Having set levels with no flexibility is difficult because every user needs different access.

Ability to restict folder view to only show folders the user owns
Allow ability to restrict folder view to ONLY those folders which the user owns. Either a separate view or something like a checkbox to enable/disable the restriction.
For example, a user is leaving the company and wants to transfer ownership of their folders to another user. There is no easy way to see what folders you own. With hundreds of folders it could take a long time to find the ones you know to transfer them.

User access provisioning
Currently when provisioning folder access for users, the console looks messy with every item listed and 'none' shown next to the granted access - it would be more helpful to only show what they have access to and their level of access. Adding access to a new folder that exists could be done with a dropdown search box

A feature that allows the user who sent the message by "Send Shared Link
Share > Shared Link - Send Shared Link "ON" > Messages (optional)
A feature that allows the user who sent this to check the messages sent in the past.
e.g. The message is output to the report.Currently, there is no corresponding feature, so we are thinking of adding my own (sender's) email address to the recipient.
